Manny,

Is "buy a larger notice board" an option?

Well...you're required by law to communicate the H&S policy to staff, and while that CAN be done without displaying it on the H&S notice board, it's probably best to put it there as well. So I'd say, display the policy statement.

Not sure what emergency contact numbers you've got, but it may be better to display them elsewhere - e.g. "How to contact first aiders" is displayed on the door to the FA room, and in places where people are most likely to have accidents: The gas escape contact number is displayed alongside bits of kit which may leak gas, etc.

I had a similar dilemma, in that I had a huge H&S notice board, but so much junk that the company's national policy required me to display, that there was no room for anything locally generated. I started taking over other departments' notice board space - they soon got the message!

Remember a H&S Policy statment signed and dated by 'THE WO/MAN' is a legal requirement as part of your H&S Policy and to go with that the Organsiation for impementing the 'policy' and the 'arrangements' of how the policy throigh the organisation is to be implemented, the Statement and policy does not have to be on display but must be made available to those who may require to see it, staff, clients visitors etc.

An emergency contact listing would be part our your company H& Policy 'Arrangements' section and it would be prudent to display that.

Why not put your Policy Statement in a nice frame etc and give it prominence somewhere else - "Hi boss dont think that we should put that there as it far to important for a mere notice board and I really want to 'highlight' the importance you as THE WO/MAN put on H&S and this would give it the esteem it deserves!!!"

"Manny what a great idea as this will say to all the chaps/esses that I really take H&S Seriously!" Have a pay rise!
